Biden's unveiled a radical plan to fight the GOP judges and justices. Just kidding. His plan is "term limits for the justices and an enforceable ethics code" for the supreme court. And... that's it. (archive.ph)

Term limits for justices would actually be good but they won't actually do it

Those same judges would say it requires a constitutional amendment anyway, to which the response would just be "oh well".

judicial review literally isn't in the constitution either, just write their term limits into law and let them bitch about it while you wheel them out when their time is up

This is what drives me completely insane, they just invented their power and now they write opinions jerking the constitution off and trying to block anything that isn't directly in the constitution. Any President worth half a shit would just tell them in the spirit of strict originalism or whatever they're going back to the thing the constitution defined as their job: taking cases from swamped district courts that lack the manpower. If they don't like it he can use their recent decision to justify drone striking them.
